When planning a trip to Hubbards, two types of activities come together: time on the water and cycling and hiking. Local highlights include the long-running Saturday morning market and the Shore Club's lobster suppers, held since 1936. If you're looking for a hotel, you can start by deciding which of these sides of the town you want to focus on during your stay.

Water and Trail as Two Main Attractions

Hubbards Cove Rentals, a family-run stand-up paddleboard and kayak rental service, is located in the centre of Hubbards. Hubbards also has a boat launch on St. Margarets Bay. This means two water-related local features sit side by side: a specific paddling option and a boat launch. If you're interested in this side of the town, you can take these different options into account when planning your trip. When stand-up paddleboarding, you stand on a board.

On land, the Aspotogan Trail offers a different focus for outdoor activities. The trail in Hubbards is part of the Rum Runners Trail and is used for cycling and hiking. When planning, you can weigh whether you'd prefer to focus on paddling or on a bike ride or hike.

Saturday Market, Music, and Lobster Tradition

The Hubbards Barn Farmers' Market at Hubbards Barn & Community Park has been a Saturday morning tradition for more than 25 years. The market features live music. This gives Saturday mornings their own cultural focus, distinct from choosing between water and trail activities.

Another local tradition is the Shore Club's lobster suppers, held at Hubbards Beach since 1936. They give your visit a culinary connection with a long history. This offers a different experience from visiting the market or enjoying an activity on the water: the focus here is the established lobster supper tradition.

At Black Harbour Distillers, visitors can enjoy a drink in the hospitality room or soak up the sun on the terrace. There's also live music on Saturday afternoons; the program may change. Check the latest program information before your visit. This lets you compare two different Saturday highlights: the morning market and live music at the distillery in the afternoon.

Landscape and Accommodation Search

The connection to the landscape is also clearly defined: Bishop Park borders the Fitzroy River. For travellers who want to consider a place's landscape as part of their visit, this connection is another point of reference in Hubbards.

When searching for hotels in Hubbards, it can help to first decide what you'd like to focus on: paddling, cycling or hiking, a Saturday with a market and music, or the lobster supper tradition.
